Dead Island 2 Preview: Much Better Than Expected!
genre: action | developer: Dambuster Studios | publication: April 21, 2023 (Epic Games Store)
This game has had an incredible odyssey: After Dead Island 2 was first announced at E3 2014, the zombie open world swallowed up several developers. Yager and Sumo Development tried unsuccessfully, then in 2019 Dambuster Studios took over. And now the thing is actually finished.
This action game is about surviving in zombie-infested Los Angeles. You choose one of the pre-made characters, each with different weapons and talents, have to fight against hordes of undead and finally find out the real reason for the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse.
Of course, you can find out how good the game turned out in the test on GameStar.de – be sure to check back on Tuesday afternoon!
